Here markswoman extraordinaire Annie Oakley is particularly elegantly attired to emphasize her perfect melding of modesty and femininity. “The incredible woman who called herself Annie Oakley overcame poverty, prejudice, physical setbacks, and her own inner shyness to become a star shooter and a durable legend. Beginning in 1885, her shooting and riding skills helped draw standing-room-only crowds to open-air arenas, to Madison Square Garden, and to sites throughout Europe. Billed as ‘The Rifle Queen,’ ‘The Peerless Lady Wing-Shot,’ ‘Little Sure Shot,’ and ‘The Western Girl,’ she thrilled audiences at home and abroad. She also burned into the public mind a vision of the archetypal western woman—daring, beautiful, and skilled”—Glenda Riley, The Life and Legacy of Annie Oakley (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1994), p. xv.
